Miss Julie Kohls is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon who specialises in Foot and Ankle Surgery and has worked at the Royal Surrey Hospital, Guildford since July 2007. Julie sees all manner of Foot and Ankle problems from the minor to the very complex.

Julie set up a private practice in 2016 and is committed to delivering excellent care by working together with patients, orthotists and physiotherapists.
